To remove speaker you will need a smal phillips screwdriver and 8mm die and ratchet (i had to remove mines since they needed to be repaired i want it to upgraded to 6x9 5 way keenwood but my installer didn´t have the right tools to do the job so i finally decided jus to repair the stock ones and they sound good again)

To put back all together just make sure that panel fit in the same place as the side panel i used a screwdriver to push the rear panel up

Never seen this version before...So you never fully removed the back seat part, you just loosened the two 10mm bolts behind the headrest and then lifted the rear panel off. Cool!


That seat back part can be a pain moving it in and out of the car several times. Ask me how I know Good job OP

ah.. i guess my work blocks them for some reason. I checked on my cell phone and I can see them. Photobucket is blocked but some other sites work fine.
"Access to this site is currently blocked as it does not appears to be business related."

Sorry for the confusion

Bottom seat

Just curious, why did you remove the bottom seat, if you don't have to remove the back?
